Citroën Chevron Kits: Improving Visibility on the Road

Chevron kits help vehicles stand out and contribute to safer driving conditions for everyone using the road network. The following sections cover common kit choices and how to fit them correctly.

What Are Citroën Chevron Kits?

A chevron kit consists of durable vinyl graphics designed for vehicle application. They help improve recognition and visibility while allowing a customised appearance.

Designed for durability, the graphics resist rain, sunlight, and regular road use over extended periods. Most Citroën safety chevron kits use high-visibility red and yellow striping on the back of the vehicle. This makes the vehicle easier to spot during daylight hours and in low-light conditions.

Available Citroën Chevron Kit Options

Berlingo kits are produced to match the dimensions of the vehicle’s rear section.

Dispatch kits are commonly available for standard vehicle versions introduced in 2016 and later.

Different Relay configurations, including taller and Luton-bodied models, can be fitted with dedicated chevron kits. They can help operators meet the recommendations set out in Chapter 8 of the UK Traffic Signs Manual.

Advantages of Chevron Kits

Chevron kits provide a clear visibility benefit when light levels are reduced. Roadside maintenance vehicles working after dark are far easier for motorists to recognise when fitted with chevrons. This added visibility supports safer working conditions and greater awareness among motorists.

Chevron graphics may also be used for promotional purposes. Commercial operators often use vehicle graphics to advertise products and services while travelling. Personalised graphics can make a vehicle stand out from standard factory finishes.

Fitting a Chevron Kit

The first step is to prepare the application area by cleaning it carefully. A clean surface improves adhesion and helps achieve a better finish.

Once prepared, position the kit carefully and apply it using the adhesive side against the vehicle. Using a squeegee during installation helps remove trapped air and smooth the material evenly. A well-applied kit can provide long-lasting performance.

Points to Consider

Before applying a kit, it is worth checking whether it suits the vehicle’s intended use. Chevron patterns are most commonly found on vehicles used for work-related roadside duties.

Over time, exposure to weather and road conditions can affect the material. Eventually, the graphics may require renewal to maintain appearance and effectiveness. Regular inspection and timely replacement can help preserve their effectiveness.

Closing Remarks

These kits offer a straightforward method of increasing rear visibility for commercial vehicles. When installed correctly, they can deliver a professional appearance and long-term performance. For additional information on chevron kits and other vehicle adhesive products, visit the App Tape website.
